I could make an incredibly long entry about this past week...but since I don't know who all reads this, I won't post it here. I'm going to post it on my Livejournal since it can be locked...there's a lot of things that I need to get off my chest that just really can't be discussed in the public view.
Other than that, Video Games are going okay. I'm still trying to work up the energy to go downstairs and get my PS2 so that I can re-hook it up to my TV. I'm about half way through Hard on Guitar Hero.
So, my birthday is in 6 days. I'll be 22. Whooptie doo. I'm gonna go to Dave and Buster's with Vicki and my friends from work and such. It'll be fun. Nothing better than video games and alcohol. Anyways...check my livejournal in a while for a full post. It'll probably take me a while to type it all out.

Oopsie ;-)
Sorry about not updating...although I'm pretty sure the only person that reads this is John :-P.
Things have been crazy ever since Beckybug got to town. Most week nights I've been going out to Green Cove and spending the majority of the night there with Becky, her family, and the kids. Late at night, Becky and I sit on the back porch and watch Chuck Norris be a badass on Walker, Texas Ranger. It makes me giggle that his first name was Cordell. I'd go by Walker too. It's sad that I've gotten addicted to this show. It's so cheesy, and the acting is horrible. We're all most impressed with how much ass Chuck Norris can kick even though his pants have GOT to be cutting off circulation.
Saturday Night me and my girls went out. We went to Dave and Buster's. It was lotsa fun. It's gonna be an annual thing once Beckybug lives here! Yay :)
My gaming days are slowing down as my PS2 is getting crappier and crappier. It's either really slow, or just isn't playing some discs at all. It's kind of annoying...cos two of the discs it only SOMETIMES plays are Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II. POUT. Oh well. I'm gettin' by for now :-P
Finished up Episode IV yesterday - will probably start on Episode V tonight. I was going to start it last night...but big suprise...I got distracted by Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2006 :-D
Here are pictures from Saturday!

Ahhh WHEE.
So, Beckybug got in town today. Yay. When I got off work, I took a nap and then went out to Green Cove Springs to hang out with my Beckybug all night. We just sat around like always :)
Tomorrow my manager comes to do my home visit. Whoopee. Whatever. I'm not worried about it - she's just doing the "clean desk audit".
Nothing too exciting going on in the Video Game world right now. Played a little bit more Lego Star Wars last night - finished Episode III and got through most of Episode IV...until I lost Vickibug - at which point I stopped watching. Now, once I find my remote, I'll be able to watch it again without having to watch the whole movie again. That wouldn't be too bad of an idea though...
It's bedtime. Catch ya on the flipside.

Neices/Nephew = Birth Control
I always knew at 21 that there was a reason that I didn't have kids yet. It's my neices and nephew. Just after one day with them I'm SO exhausted.
I really did have a lot of fun yesterday, considering. I woke up at around 8-ish and talked with my parents for a while. Then they left, so I got ready and left for the Boone's house. I get over there and as soon as I did all three kids were high-tailing it out to my car to greet me with huge hugs. My nephew tried to tackle me again like he did last time I went over to the Boone's house. (They have a gravel driveway - it's relatively painful.) He didn't succeed this time! Muahahaha.
After we hung out for a while, we decided to head out to MOSH. We got lost on the way there. You'd think after almost 13 years of living in Jacksonville that I might possibly know where I'm going...but no. I got lost in Downtown like always. (At least I didn't end up in Georgia this time! I've done that twice.) When we finally got to MOSH, we went inside.
The kids were afraid of the dinosaurs at first, but eventually warmed up to them. Apparently, MOSH doesn't believe in turning on the AC, so it was rediculously hot inside there. Then we go outside when we're leaving, and of course, it's hot out there and in my car. We weren't on the road too long before we decided to stop to get lunch since we hadn't eaten all day.
I must've been overheated because I couldn't cool off no matter what I did. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that Gini lost my hair tie, because my hair was all over my neck just making me hotter. Well...a couple of bites of my burger, and a few sips of my Coke later and WHAM - I went and talked to cousin Lurch. Not fun. Oh yeah, especially after Willie headbutted me earlier and broke my glasses.
When we finally got home, I pretty much changed and then headed to Sara's. I got my Guitar Hero fix. FINALLY. I literally played through like 5 or 6 entire sets of songs...that's between 25-30 songs last night. Needless to say, my carpel tunnel has flaired back up. Who wouldda guessed?
After I couldn't feel my hands anymore, Sara finished watching Pride and Predjuice, and I decided to pick a movie that I wanted to watch. We decided to watch Mary Poppins. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVE THAT MOVIE. I haven't watched that movie since I was old enough to understand it and just WOW. I absolutely adore that movie and the soundtrack is to die for. That soundtrack'll probably be my newest iTunes download here soon.
Today was a day of recovery. I got home from Sara's at about 10:00 this morning. I created a new Sims family, and started building the house but then got REALLY tired so I decided to take a nap at about 1:00. I woke up around 5:00 and then decided to go back to bed. My Mom finally came woke me up at 6:40. Those kids wore me out more than I thought. And my knees...or at least the muscle right above my knees is SOO sore. I know that's from squatting down to pick up the kids, or to get eye level with them.
I have a habit of kneeling down to talk to kids because I think that whether it's a kid or an adult, you should look somebody in the eyes when you're talking to them. But that's just me.
Anyways, here's a picture slideshow of the best pictures I have from yesterday. Enjoy.

Benefits? HA!
So, when I got off work today I made an executive decision to NOT take a nap for once - I knew I'd be going to MOSH tomorrow with Shelly and the kids and that would require getting up relatively early.
Well, since my Dad has been out of town all week, I decided to spend some time just talking to him, letting him know about all the system issues I had with work this week (He works on Citrix at Bank of America [Citrix is essentially like a virtual server that I log onto from home.]) and I told him about my doctors appointment and what he said etc. During our conversation he mentioned that in the hotel he stayed in, they had one of those rainfall showerheads and he really liked it, so he wanted to get one.
I told him we should go get one tonight. After we all [him, me and my Mom] slacked around for a bit watching the Game Show Network, we finally got around to leaving. First we went to Home Depot, and my parents got a pretty cool shower head(s) - it's a two headed shower. One at normal height, and the other one is at about belly button level on a regular person. It's like a person wash!
I also managed to get a new showerhead out of the deal. And it is AWESOME. Here is a pic of it for your viewing pleasure.

Isn't that A W E S O M E?! It's great. I could stay under that shower head for HOURS.
The bad news that happened today is that I wasn't able to pick up my new Prozac perscription. I go to Wal-Mart to pick it up and they start to give me crap about how my insurance is saying it doesn't cover my Prozac so I have to pay full price of about $178 instead of $4. Umm...prolly nada. Anyways - after a lot of back and forth with the dumb pharmacy techs at Wal-Mart, it was discovered that apparently Aetna changed my benefits without telling me and I have to get a perscription card from Express Scripts to turn into Wal-Mart to be able to get my perscription.
That's pretty funny...considering when I went in there two days ago, I was able to pick up a refill without any problems. (My doctor changed my dosage.) They also told me that they still had me under my parents insurance...which I haven't been under for almost 4 years. I am so tempted to just go pick up my perscription note thing from Wal-Mart and take it to CVS or WalGreens and get it filled. Every since all of our Wal-Marts "upgraded" around here, they've turned to shit. I absolutely despise them now. I'll save you from my rant about Wal-Mart for now. Maybe for another day :)
On a final note...I GET MY GUITAR HERO BACK TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *throws confetti* It's gonna be a GH marathon in my room tomorrow. Who wants to come? :-D
Jackpot!!
Sweetness...
So, my Dad was on the way home last night and reached into the seat pocket of the chair in front of him to put his stuff away and found what appeared to be a silver and clear pencil bag. He looked inside and saw some iPod headphones and thought that was cool since he has an iPod, he could use an extra pair of headphones.
Upon further inspection, it was a complete, basically brand new iPod Shuffle. Since he already has a regular iPod, he gave me the Shuffle. Sah-weet.
It holds 1gig, so I've only been putting songs that I've downloaded from iTunes on it. Which is cool, because it holds everything I've downloaded (About 250+ songs) and there's still room for probably 8 or 9 more songs. Good deal.

Eagle! No wait... Birdie!...Par?...BOGEY?!
So, I upgraded from Hack to Amateur to Pro in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2006. My Dad is like addicted to this game (so much that I now have his 2006 version, because he bought the 2007 version.) so I decided to check it out whilst I am missing Guitar Hero. It's not TOO bad. I just hate golf. I find the sport boring as hell. But, oh well. It's keeping me occupied.
I also beat Episode II in Lego Star Wars tonight. Then I went back to Episode I to finish the Mini-kit, and it took me having to look up a walk through to find that last Mini-kit piece. But in the process, I managed to fill my Jedi Meter. (That's a good thing.)
That's really all. I'm just waiting for my Dad to get home from the airport. Want to make sure he gets in okay before I go to bed.
♫ !Rock On! ♫

Use the force!!!
So, I got off work early today as previously mentioned - which was nice. The other Home Office manager never got back to me about making up the time that I left early on Tuesday - so I guess I'm not doing it today. I'm hoping for tomorrow.
A couple of weeks ago, I lost my license. I finally got my replacement in the mail today. It's about time! I bet my friends'll be happy that they don't have to buy me cigarettes anymore :)
My doctors appointment went well - he took me off of daily Prozac, and put me on weekly Prozac at my request. I just can't remember to take a pill every day. I've never had to take pills before. I figure I'll just set up a reminder to buzz me on Fridays during my lunch break to take my pill. I've never been as perfectly okay as I have been with Prozac. It's weird to not feel depressed every single day.
On that note, I've dropped 14 lbs since I saw my doctor last in April. Hurray. Go me. I'm prolly awesome. Well...I dunno for sure if it's 14 lbs, cos I think their scale is off. Every time I go to the doctor, I weigh myself before I go so that I'm not shocked and apalled at the number that comes up on the scale thinggie. Theirs was off by a few pounds from mine, but no big deal. The best part about it all is that even if it is off by a few pounds - I STILL LOST WEIGHT! *throws confetti*
I got to a part on Lego Star Wars and got stuck. I couldn't figure out what to do. I know that I needed C3PO to unlock the door, but I couldn't figure out for the life of me what to do. I went to IGN and looked up a walkthrough to tell me how to do it. Even that didn't make sense to me...it kept saying "Force 3PO onto the platform in the middle." And I'm thinking to myself 'How the hell do I FORCE him to do something?' and then...like a retard, I hung my head in shame. What they meant was USE THE FORCE to move the platform over to 3p0 so that you both could get on, and then USE THE FORCE to move the platform over to the door. Gee, wouldn't it have been easier to just say that?
Oh yeah, and I also got a new Controller. It's pretty pimp...it lights up blue and is clear. Not too shabby for $14 from Wal-Mart. Mace Windu is calling me to come back and be the BAMF that he is, and kick some ass. Let the ass kicking resume...

Oh, How I Miss Thee...
Well, my sister is borrowing Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero II, and both of my guitars until Saturday. Woe is me. 2 whole days without Guitar Hero-ness. What ever will I do?
I suppose I can keep on truckin away at the Lego Star Wars game. I'm up to Episode II. Episode I was really really easy. Once I beat all the way through Episode III on that game, I'm gonna buy the Lego Star Wars game with 4, 5, and 6. BUT I'm not going to play those until I watch the movies.
Here's the thing with me and Star Wars...my family has pretty much always been big Star Wars buffs - my parents first date was to go see Star Wars. I remember watching Star Wars a lot when I was a kid...but I never understood it. Since I've become an adult, I haven't gone back and watched 4, 5, or 6 yet...but I'm on the way. I started with watching Episode I a few days or so ago...and just finished up watching Episode II yesterday. I got off of work early today, so I think I'll watch Episode III before my doctors appointment, and then possibly watch Episode IV tonight.
Oh yeah, speaking of the doctor...I have an appointment today. POUT. I hate going to the doctors...don't get me wrong, my doctor is nice and everything, but it just is not one of my favorite hobbies. I'll letcha know when I get back how everything went.
I must say, I'm impressed with Old Navy. I bought this sweater from their online store on Tuesday, and got it in the mail today. I didn't pay for expedited shipping or anything. Pretty awesome, huh?
I'm so bored without Vickibug. She's in New York until Monday. No Guitar Hero AND No Vickibug. What is the world coming to?!

It's Just Like Starting Over...
Well, I've gone and done it again.
I've tried Live Journal, Xanga, mySpace, Greatest Journal, and just about every other blogging site out there and haven't found one yet that I'm completely satisfied with. (Thus far, Live Journal is winning.)
Basically all I'm going to write about in here is how much these people I talk to on my phone every day annoy me, and what I'm doing video game wise. Doesn't that sound exciting? :)
